Are you having a good Lunar New Year holiday?

Still, today (the 23rd) was a good day to enjoy the holiday outside as the cold had subsided a bit.

But now, starting tonight, the days are getting colder again.

In the midst of a cold wave warning in most areas of the country, it is said that the most bitter cold is coming this winter, so you need to prepare firmly.



The first news, reporter Sohn Gi-jun, will deliver.



<Reporter> A



traditional play experience center opened for the Lunar New Year holiday.



[Kim Kyung-ja/Uijeongbu-si ,



Gyeonggi-do: I'm throwing this, but it doesn't go well.

(How do you feel after playing for the first time in a while?) I feel like a baby.

I feel like a child.]



Even the sisters who are engaged in a fierce number fight by playing yut.



Every expression is full of joy.



[Lee Na-gyeong/Gangnam-gu, Seoul: It's New Year's Day and the weather is nice, so I'm playing with my family.]



I also fill my stomach with rice cake soup prepared by the park.



Citizens who hurriedly returned to their hometowns set out on a city outing.



[Lee Kyung-soo/Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do: I came to watch a movie my child likes today because there was a stage greeting here.]



Until today, it was good to do outdoor activities, but the situation changes suddenly overnight.



While a special cold wave warning has been issued in most parts of the country, tomorrow morning the temperature in Seoul will drop to minus 17 degrees Celsius and in Cheorwon, Gangwon to -23 degrees Celsius, bringing the most severe cold wave this winter.



In the sky above the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, cold air of minus 50 degrees is staying, and as the north wind intensifies tomorrow, this air covers the Korean Peninsula and turns into a freezer overnight.



Due to the cold air passing through the West Sea, many snow clouds are created, and heavy snow is expected in Jeju Island, Honam, and the west coast of Chungnam.



A lot of snow was predicted, up to 70 cm or more in the mountains of Jeju, 5 to 20 cm in Jeonnam and western Jeonbuk, and 1 to 5 cm in the west coast of Chungnam.



In addition, strong winds of more than 20m per second are expected to blow in most coastal areas across the country and Jeju Island, causing considerable disruption to aircraft and passenger ship operations.
